This song is a version of a Medieval Greek song. It talks about the death of Vasilios Digenis Akritas, the most favourite hero of the late Byzantine period. He was the son of a great Byzantine lady and a converted Arab emir (Διγενής in Greek means someone who belongs to two nations). He was said to be as handsome as Achilles, as strong as Hercules and as glorious as Alexander the Great. He was the mythical leader of the guardians of the Byzantine borders and nowadays he symbolises the undying Greek soul. https://youtube/watch?v=W4OL45GF2-o&hd=1
